This invention relates to detachable boundary nets for tennis courts and the like.

In prior detachable boundary nets, it has been the practice to provide specially cast uprights equipped with means for supporting the heavy and bullw sections of the net sections. The object of the present invention is to build up the whole boundary net structure out of standard parts, and in which the net sections may be readily detached and attached.

constructional examples of the invention illustrating the attachment of the net sections to the uprights and the anchoring of the uprights in the ground are shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is an elevational view of the net according to the invention in which the means of at tachment consist of hooks and eyes.

Fig. 2 is a plan view to be read in conjunction with Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view in elevation of a net of which the sections are attached to the uprights by means of thumb-latches.

Fig. 4 is a plan view to be read in conjunction with Fi 3.

Fig. 5 shows a net in which the individual sections are suspended by means of hooks from a round section iron rail or from a wire cable and steadied at the lower edge by being arranged to ride by means of forks on a bottom rail or cable of a similar nature.

Fig. 6 is an elevation taken at right angles to Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 is a plan view of a net adapted to be pressed against the uprights by means of springs.

In the form of construction shown in Fig. 1 there are attached to uprights b lugs (1 into which the sections of the net a are adapted to be hung by means of hooks c.

Fig. 3 shows a form of construction in which the individual sections a are adapted to be inserted between the uprights b, and to be pressed against the latter by means of pivoted thumblatches e.

In the form of construction shown in Fig. 5 10 there are stretched between the uprights b round section rods or wire cables I from which the sections (1 of the net are suspended by means of hooks 9. To the lower edge of the sections a there are fastened forks h adapted to engage T-bars, sections of netting bounded by a frame 30 and of a size to fit between the adjacent T-bars and hooks engaged in the frame of the sections and in the upper and lower cables to hold the sections in position.
